This page offers a simplified map of the walking tour and directions to help you get your bearings. It is important to “get your bearings” as far as directions are concerned. Numbered streets in Philadelphia run north-south. Lower numbers are closer to the Delaware River and thus east of higher numbers.

A word about safety is necessary. Please be mindful of cars, trucks, and other pedestrians as you cross streets in this city, and always be courteous toward fellow pedestrians and city residents.
